Remembering on Memorial Day

Follow me on:

Whatever your opinion about our country's involvement in Iraq, I hope you agree that our service men and women deserve our respect for bravely doing whatever our leaders ask of them. Click through to 5 Ways to Support Chicago Area Veterans and Military Personnel and type off a quick note to a service person. Or, find another way to help. NVVMA

I'd also recommend visiting Chicago's National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum. I won't tell you it's like hanging out with a puppy for the afternoon, but it's deep into art and healing, and it provides a rich experience that's worthy of your time.

Finally, if you're hardcore about celebrating Memorial Day on Memorial Day, Norwood Park's Memorial Day Parade takes place on Monday at 11am.

Peace.
